The property is delightful with many decks/balconies overlooking the harbor. Easy to get to via ferry and after hectic days exploring Sydney its a great escape on which to enjoy a glass to wine. The hosts are great and offer many suggestions of place to visit and eat which one might not find in a guidebook. Finally the property has everything one might want in terms of good WiFi, towels, kitchen ware,...

Beautiful, historic home in a great location.
We had a wonderful time in Sydney. This home was charming and interesting with lovely historical touches throughout. Giacomo and Lynn were very professional and helpful. We especially loved the rooftop terrace and great view. We hope to return someday. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Tuscan Villa Overlooking Sydney Harbor
Great accommodations in a great location in the Balmain East suburb of Sydney. Comfortable house with super friendly hosts that will make you feel right at home. And the views are simply outrageous. There is a balcony and city view from several of the rooms and a bonus roof top terrace. The kitchen is huge and is very well stocked with appliances, pots, pans and utensils. The ferry is nearby as are restaurants and shops. We will return!

Perfect place to stay
We are travellers from Vienna and have visited Sydney for 10 days in January/early February 2019. From the time we booked, everything (check-in instructions, contact information, codes, etc) was communicated with great clarity. At our arrival, we instantly felt welcomed. The hosts are a wonderful Australian couple with a great empathy for travellers.
The residence is an amazing villa with a view of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Darling harbour. The house is very clean, with a fully equipped kitchen; we enjoyed preparing our breakfast every day. The location was terrific; the neighbourhood is quiet and safe. We loved our 10 minutes walks to Balmain East ferry every day (stopping for a coffee at café Euphoria), catching a ferry to Circular Quay (15 minutes) or Darling Harbour (8 minutes). The house exceeded our expectations and made our holidays in Sydney very special.

Wonderful space and location
Our family of 5 thought the space was excellent. We spent 5 nights. Nice view of the City. The beds were very comfortable. The place had about anything you could need. Plenty of paper products and soap and laundry soap. The location is about 10 min from the ferry wharf walking. This wharf has a ferry that goes to Darling Harbor as the next stop (7 min) OR go the other direction and in 3 stops you are at Circular Quay (less than 15 min). And you can catch the bus closer to go to wharf or into the City as well. There is a good kitchen set up with all you need. Owner brought a drip coffee pot in for us as they had a couple of options. Instruction/information book is helpful. The info on the HomeAway app that the owners send is invaluable so read it and use it. We took a cab from airport which was about $100 AUS for a maxi taxi (for 5) on the way there due to early morning traffic and construction at airport delays. It was much faster and about $30 AUS cheaper on the way back to airport to leave as we left later in a.m. The outside decks are very neat. If it would have been a little warmer and less rainy we could have used more--such as in different season. One shower and two toilets was good. Heaters in each room were great in the evenings during this time of year. Remember you will need adaptors for the electric outlets. The grocery store was about 10 minutes walking. There are several restaurants between grocery store and apartment. We had Gigi's Italian, Sushi Hub, Gellataria gelato and Joe's Deli for some heat at home Italian. All were good. Bottle shop for beer and wine was in the same area. Owners were very responsive and helpful in setting up the reservation and during the stay.

A perfect Christmas
This house is awesome. Quiet, peaceful, spacious, stunning view and such a variety of places to sit including the lovely roof garden. We had a lovely 4 days and our hosts could not have been more accommodating.

Bugs and Filth in Balmain
We booked this property over the holiday season and chose this property because of the 3 bedrooms and rooftop fireworks. Giacomo was a pleasure to deal with prior to our arrival and very helpful with questions relating to New Year’s. However, upon arrival it became very clear that this property was drastically over represented and over valued for the condition it is in. The towels were stained, and the headboard in the master bedroom also had a huge stain. Disgusting! The whole house has a dank smell (my kids were gagging). The upstairs bathroom had a drainage problem and water pools up on the bathroom floor, making the bathroom difficult to use. We had to take really quick showers to avoid a swamp! There were also dozens of BUGS on the ceiling in the bathroom. When we called Giacomo extremely upset, he offered to send a cleaning lady to come inspect the property. She never showed up! Giacomo also offered to refund a portion of our money and once we checked out, he refused to do so.
In short, very disappointed that Giacomo refused to keep his word regarding a discount on the very overpriced rates he was charging during the holiday week. We wound up seeing the fireworks on a boat for the 9 o’clock show which was wonderful and returning to the house to view the midnight fireworks on the rooftop, which was also wonderful. But not worth the price we paid for the conditions we endured during our week of vacation!

Best place to enjoy Sydney
We have stayed with Giacomo and Lynn before in their other beautiful property, so we were delighted to stay in this house! The home is beautifully decorated, with all modern conveniences. We appreciated the extra adapters for our technology. We loved the peaceful location and easy access to the ferry. Great two pubs in town with exceptional food! We will be back!
